Where do I find Flameruff?
Landing the catch
Everything below is how catching works for any Aniimo — it is not specific to Flameruff.
- Wear it down first. Depleting a wild Aniimo's HP and dealing break damage to its break gauge both increase capture success.
- Come at it from behind. Attacking an Aniimo or throwing a capture pod at it from behind grants a back attack bonus that greatly increases the catch rate.
- Better still, catch it asleep. Sleeping wild Aniimo can be approached and captured while they are asleep.
- Put a trap in its path. Traps can be set in the terrain, such as in a wild Aniimo's path, to increase the likelihood of capturing it.
- Throw the right tier. Aniipods come in multiple tiers, and higher tiers carry higher base capture success rates, so stronger Aniipods are recommended for difficult captures, although some specialised models such as Aniipod Track and Tumbler trade raw catch power for utility effects.
- Out-level it. Being a lower level than the target creature reduces catch odds.
- Expect to miss anyway. Aniimo displays a catch success chance when you aim an Aniipod at a wild Aniimo, and any throw below 100% can still fail after the pod shakes.
If it is an Alpha or a Legendary
- Alpha. Alpha Aniimo bosses, including quest Alphas, cannot be captured mid-fight, but defeating one grants an opportunity to catch it, although catch rates are low.
- Save the Ultras. High-tier Anipods, such as Anipod Ultras, should be saved for capturing Alpha Aniimo rather than spent on standard wild Aniimo.
- Legendary. Catching a Legendary Aniimo requires crafting its Legendary Aniipod from legendary tokens, which unlocks the creature's exclusive one-time story encounter, where the player must defeat it in battle before throwing the crafted Aniipod to capture it.
The full catching guide covers pod tiers, stealth and Alpha hunting at length.

How does Flameruff evolve?
- Inferlupa's acquisition is unsettled: it is given both as the reward of a side quest started at the top of Thousand Fang Ridge and ending in a battle on the third day, and as one branch of Flameruff's split evolution in the Emberpup line, unlocked by the Warrior quest, a questline that spans three real-world days with its mission stages unlocking at daily server resets.
- Evolving Flameruff into Inferlupa requires six farmable Unbroken Flameruff Spirits. Finishing The Warrior quest alone does not evolve it, and Flux Crystals cannot substitute.
- Emberpup's evolution is unsettled: it is given both as evolving into Inferlupa, also written as Infernal Lupa, and as evolving into Flameruff, its gamma-stage form, on a line that continues to Scorchhowl.

- Unbroken Flameruff Spirits have a low chance to drop, in place of an evolution stone, only from defeating Flameruff the Mighty, the special elite daytime Gamma-stage Flameruff in the Inferlupa elite battle area, but not from capturing it, and plain Flameruffs without the title do not drop them.
- Evolving Flameruff into Inferlupa requires a Night Stone.
- Only the basic orange form of Flameruff can evolve into Inferlupa, while regional variants such as Highland and Mountainwoods cannot.
- Perfect potential carries through evolution: a perfect Helmut becomes a perfect Pawney, a perfect Helmwhelp a perfect Infergon, and a perfect Inferlupa requires a perfect Emberpup or Flameruff with regen and break as its top stats.
- Only the basic forms Emberpup or Flameruff can evolve into Inferlupa; Scorchhowl cannot.
